My Favorite Goodbye

I ran out of excuses
On the twenty-third of March
Had to look the truth straight in the eye
She didn’t say a word
She just walked away
It’s always been my favorite goodbye Now when you read this letter
I’ll be a million miles away
You can’t reach me no matter how you try
Remember summer days
And the way I made you laugh
It’s always been my favorite goodbyeLook back, look back
She heard me call
She took everything but time
Look back, look back
There’s nothing left
Time takes еverything but loveNow I wander through thе seasons
Like a ghost out of a book
I never feel the moments passing by
Sometimes I think I see her
Disappearing around the corner
It’s always been my favorite goodbyeSome will leave the money
On the bureau as they’re leaving
Others look so sad you think they’ll cry
She left like a fading note
In a children’s melody
It’s always been my favorite goodbyeLook back, look back
She heard me call
She took everything but time
Look back, look back
There’s nothing left
Time takes everything but loveDo you want a blindfold
Said the captain of the guard
To the prisoner who was condemned to die
The soldier shook his head
And he gave a little smile
It’s always been my favorite goodbye
